Turnovers bring late collapse for Pistons in defeat to Clippers
Clippers outscored Pistons 30-16 in the fourth quarter to erase a 14-point deficit, led by Kawhi Leonard’s 26 points and James Harden’s 19 points.
- On Jan. 10, 2026 the Los Angeles Clippers rallied from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Detroit Pistons 98-92 at Little Caesars Arena, with Kawhi Leonard scoring 26 points.
- Detroit was hamstrung by injuries to Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart, while late miscues and missed free throws sealed the Pistons' defeat.
- A 12-0 run in the fourth erased Detroit’s lead as James Harden’s three-point play tied it at 90 and John Collins’ free throws gave the Clippers a 93-92 lead.
- The loss dropped the Pistons to 28-10, highlighting Detroit’s shortage of playmakers late in games that cost the team the result.
- Two-Way center Tolu Smith seized extended minutes, produced nine points, 14 rebounds, and said `Me and DJ had long conversations about times like this, staying ready, staying in the gym, never knowing when our moment would come`, while coach J.B. Bickerstaff praised the effort, saying `I won't find anything negative in what these guys did tonight`.
